The decisions have been made, the timetables have been drawn up; the first Singapore Perl Mongers meetup (codenamed “Adagio”) will be this Saturday (August 1, 2009) at the Earshot Cafe [1] at The Arts House [2] (the Old Parliament Building; it’s right behind Victoria Concert Hall near the Singapore river) from 4pm to 7pm in the afternoon/evening. The meetup will then break for drinks or boardgames or whatever.

We don’t have a fixed agenda for this meetup; Patrick Haller offered a talk on creating a common runtime environment for a repository of Perl scripts, and I don’t mind talking about joining in on core module, perl6 or even perl5 development with GitHub, so we’ve got a bunch of things to talk about (if the Earshot Cafe isn’t too crowded).

Personally, I’m just interested in meeting up with all of you and finding out what Perl is used for in Singapore, and how Singapore.pm can help promote Perl in Singaporean companies and to Singaporean students.

Please let me know if you need directions, want to ask questions or would like to suggest or volunteer talks; my e-mail address is gaurav@ggvaidya.com. If you want to promote this event on Facebook, I’ve created an “Event” to make that easier [3].

See you all there!

cheers, Gaurav

SMU School of Information Systems NSR 2.1 What

When Jul 16, 2009 from 07:00 pm to 09:00 pm Where SMU School of Information Systems NSR 2.1

We’ve got exciting topics lined up for our coming meeting. Mark out your diary guys!

Planned Program

Topic : DigiBanner : An Interactive Multi-Screen Network Application Speaker : Morgan Heijdemann Synopsis : In this talk, Morgan will demonstrate the capabilities of Python in delivering a desktop realtime application. It shows the use of sockets (client/server), (queued) threading, the power of pickle, pyglet and the integration of wiiMotes. The application was developed with help of students in less than a month.

Topic : Using Google Application Engine and Amazon Web Services Together Speaker : Chris Boesch Synopsis : In this talk, Chris will discuss an application that he has developed using the Google Application Engine (GAE) and Amazon Web Services (AWS). The application is designed to leverage the identity, scalability, and availability provided by GAE to implement public interfaces and then utilize Amazon EC2 and S3 where the GAE restrictions are too limiting. Python is used to implement both the GAE application code and code running in Amazon EC2 instances.

Topic : PUG Speaker : Liew Beng Keat Synopsis : Python User Group (Singapore) is now a registered society. Beng Keat will introduce the members of the Pro-Tem committee and share plans for the society moving forward and in view of PyCon 2010.

Topic : Lightning Talks Speaker : Open Invitation. Come on guys! Synopsis : All (personal) projects that you have done using Python. If you’ve never given a talk before, Lightning Talks are a good place to start. You don’t need to make slides, but if you do, you only need to make three.

Any volunteers for talks for future sessions, pls do drop an email to liew_beng_keat@rp.sg.
